Sit and Go Rules | Scheduled Rules

Sit and Go Poker Tournaments Rules:

1. These are single table and multi table tournaments that begin as soon as the set number of players has registered.
2. Once registered for an event, the players may un-register from an event, and receive a refund of any Tournament Points or Play Chips used to register, up to the point in time all seats are filled.
3. Players are seated at random. Seat changes are not allowed.
4. All players begin with equal chip amounts.
5. The blinds will increase according to the sit and go tournament structures posted on www.ClubUBT.com.
6. The button is randomly assigned to a player at the table. There is a deal for the button at the start of the tournament; high card plays the button for the first hand
7. Tournaments are played until one player has all the chips
8. Players who do not show up for their event will be blinded off until they arrive.
9. As a multi-table tournament progresses the tournament software will combine tables and try to maintain an equal number of players at all the remaining tables. Players will see a note in the lower left of the table telling them that tables are being consolidated.
10. If a player needs to be moved to maintain balance, the tournament software will choose the player due to pay the big blind at one of the tables with the most remaining players, and move that player to one of the tables with the least remaining number of players. The player who is moved will be seated at the new table as far away from the big blind as possible given the available seats. This advantage is meant to equalize the disadvantage of being moved to a table where the player is less familiar with their opponents. However, players may be forced to post the blinds when arriving at a new table. Table reassignments are an inherent part of tournaments and apply equally to all players.
11. Players moved to a new table and seated between the big blind and the button will not be able to play until the button passes them.
12. ClubUBT.com uses the dead button feature to ensure that all players take the big blind in their turn. As such, it is possible that a player will receive the button for more than one hand. It is also possible that a big blind is posted in a hand but no small blind, if the person who was to receive the small blind was eliminated from the tournament in the previous hand.
13. When two players remain in the tournament, the player due to receive the big blind will do so and the player in the small blind position will inherit the button.
14. In no-limit tournaments there is no restriction on the number of raises allowed during a betting round.
15. If there is a split pot, not equally divisible by the number of players in the hand, the 'extra' chips will be awarded to the player closest to the left of the button.
16. In tournaments when two players get eliminated in the same hand, the player who started the hand with the most chips gets the higher finish and awarded the corresponding prize pool for that placement. If the players began the hand with the same amount of chips, they will tie and the prize pools will be combined and equally distributed. (For example, if 2 people who started a hand with the same number of chips are eliminated at the same time and would be 9th (which pays $60) and 10th (which pays $40), their standings would show tied for 9th and each player would be paid $50)
17. Hand-by-hand dealing may be enacted during any tournament. This means that the tournament software will wait until a hand is played at all remaining tables, before dealing the next hand. This discourages the practice of slow playing.
18. Players who have an active internet connection and do not act during their turn will be folded.
19. Players who lose connection during an event will be blinded off until such a time they can rejoin their tournament.
20. If your computer disconnects in the middle of a hand, your hand will be folded unless you return to the hand before your time to act expires.
21. During game play, players are prohibited from chatting about the play of their hand and/or their opponents' hands until all actions for that hand are complete. Such chat could result in disqualification or other penalties.
22. In the event a tournament is cancelled due to technical difficulties at ClubUBT.com, the remaining players in the event may be given an entry into a substitute event with an equal prize pool, or the prize money may be awarded based on the standings of the players at the time the event stops running. Club Management will contact the players affected to communicate the decision.
23. Soft playing or chip dumping is not allowed. Players involved in these or other unethical activities may be eliminated from a tournament and/or have their accounts terminated.
24. ClubUBT.com reserves the right to alter the rules and make final decisions on all tournament related issues as they arise, and at our sole discretion.
25. ClubUBT.com reserves the right to alter the rules and make final decisions on all tournament related issues as they arise, and at our sole discretion and without prior notice.
26. In case of disputes decisions made by ClubUBT.com are final.
